Holy Heimdall!

I got mine for $30 off Amazon about a month ago. It was double retail, but I wanted to complete the set.
I've collected these figures long enough to know that the final waves of movie lines are very hard to find and don't even see distribution in my area usually, so I'm very okay with only paying double. Don't have the time and luck to just find them in the wild.

Like gpmartin I dropped three bills for him...well, three $10 bills. Oh, to be a completist.

Good Stuff · 09-17-2011, 10:03 PM

I've been wanting fireblast Destroyer for so long...and no where to been seen in retail and probably never will. I will just have to drop 2 bills for him at my LCS boo. :<

Wow that's a shock since Hasbro basically buried Heimdal by not giving it adequate articulation IMO

stjuggernaut · 10-03-2011, 07:19 AM

yeh his articulation is rubbish but overall hes one of my favourite in the entire line because his armour is so cool. it would have been great if they gave him the articulation to hold his sword like he does in the film when guarding the bifrost

What does 2 bills mean in Canada? It the US it means $200, so I hope you don't need him that much.

In context though he may only mean $20 but if he means $200 wow :smh: I couldn't see dropping that much on only one figure, not yet anyway

Shin Densetsu · 10-03-2011, 07:49 AM

What are the exact points of articulation on this guy?

thechris · 10-03-2011, 08:20 AM

That's dumb, seriously. Don't spend that much on a toy. There's a point where you're going overboard. I mean if you make $200 an hour, then go for it, but I made it a point not to spend more than I make in an hour or two on a single unit. If I realized that I spent an 8 hour day hammering away at a program just to spend a huge chunk of it on one action figure, just shoot me now.

pretty much the same as the other thor figures although the wrists dont move, and the elbows cant be turned, only moved backwards and forwards. other than that there isnt much in it.

i think its the only one in the whole line (thinking off the top of my head) that has crapper articulation... but is the one you need the most to have his arms be able to move central to his body for his pose. very annoying.

Good Stuff · 10-03-2011, 08:36 AM

Just $20 folks. I wouldn't pay anything more than $20 for a 3.75" fig, no matter what.

I went to my LCS a week ago to buy the black Destroyer but some lucky chap finally got him instead...

boo.... serves me right though, I had the opportunity to by Sif and this Destroyer but was hoping retail would get them along with the movie release on Dvd/BR.

Well that sucks it's got the deluxe Captain America articulation.

What about sdcc exclusives?

Good Stuff · 10-03-2011, 09:49 AM

SDCC 2010 - $20 is how much each cost at my LCS (actually, spinning Spidey is only $10)
SDCC 2009 - 000 Cap and Invaders set are awesomely cool, but I'm not a completist and wouldn't pay the asking prices on ebay. With the exception of Redskull, better figs are available for the other ones. Redskull is better done as a custom.

I've never been a fan of redskull, but it sucks that the four pack was the only time they released his figure. I must say that you are lucky to have a LCS in your area, that sells sdcc stuff. most I paid for an exclusive was 23.50 for WWII cap, and I didn't want to pay that much.
Did you wind up getting that spinning spidey?

Good Stuff · 10-03-2011, 10:03 AM

No, I passed on Spidey - I've never been a fan of movie line figs although articulation on him is great. I was considering him at one point, but I'm glad I passed since we have the newer Brit 2pk Spidey to choose from

perrych · 10-03-2011, 10:11 AM

I would love to even see Heimdall or Sif at any store. I love to support my LCS, but rarely get 4" figures. I am sort of doubtful that this wave is going to make it to retail here in GA - they are having a hard time getting rid of all the Thor figs.
